Taking a walk

As the taxi got off the freeway and drove through Boedo, I had that strange excited feeling that I get when I’m in Italy.  Buenos Aires had Italy energy today.

It was very nice and a relief to unpack my things, arrange my tango shoes on my shelves, and just chill.   It felt good to come back home.

After chatting with Miss Tango today, I decided to take a walk, opting to walk on Yrigoyen so I could pass the Congreso Nacional.  In just two weeks, the vibe of the city has changed - fall is in the air.  I didn’t need a jacket, it was still relatively warm, but there was that slight change… no more summer clothes, a few brown falling leaves here and there, and that “autumn” smell.

As I listened to people talking to each other in Castellano as they passed by me, I relaxed and became more content.  In just three months, this city has become so familiar to me, and having two weeks up north without that beautiful porteño accented Spanish surrounding me was like being a fish out of water.

Everything felt different on my walk.  I felt as though Buenos Aires was truly welcoming me back.

I am so happy and grateful to be in my Buenos Aires.
